Business Benefits

  • Enhanced Data Visibility and Accessibility: Allows users to view, filter, and analyze additional data captured at the journal header and line levels directly from the dashboard. This improves transparency and accessibility to critical financial information.

  • Improved Data Segmentation: Allows for the segmentation and categorization of journal entries based on custom attributes. This segmentation enhances the ability to track, manage, and analyze financial data according to various business dimensions, such as project codes, departments, or compliance-related attributes.

Tips And Considerations

Data Security

  • Data available in the dashboards is subject to the same data security approach as core E-Business applications
  • Data access is controlled based on the GL Data Access Set for the specific responsibility
    • The data access set is assigned to the "GL: Data Access Set" profile option
  • Dashboards honor the segment security

Data Load

  • Need to run the full load using the General Ledger Command Center data load concurrent program
  • Full load needs to run if there are any changes in the DFF segments
